Thanks to MDMA for the links and to you guys for providing the platform.

I'd have loved to see the feedback, by spotted man too, but, I guess I'll need to find out for myself.

1.command gropus added to the quick access toolbar closes once a command in the command group is selected;this behavior is rather a pain when you need to issue several commands one after another,Consider changing this behavior.

eg: If I add the alignment command group to the quick access toolbar,click on a cell and change it's alignment to center ,nope it doesn't look good ,I click the alignment button on the quick access toolbar again to change it to left align ,nope doesn't look good either ,I have to keep clicking the button on the qa toolbar everytime I make a choice,now if the command group would stay open I could make my choice and take the mouse away to make the command group collapse after I am done,life would be so much easier

2.I'd like to see some text on the quick access toolbar(instead of just icons) so  could use it with more confidence

3.Custom ribbon tabs? So I could make ribbon tabs with my most frequently used commands, instead of just the built in ones

Excel 2007 doesn't have regular expression search, much less regex search/replace.

How about you people waste less time on idiotic UI chrome and breaking user expectations in the UI, and add a useful feature for once in your worthless lives?

WHY can't you even PRETEND to make useful software?

First off, there is no reason to come on here with your stupid "idotic" and "PRETEND"  comments.  Try to type out a useful comment.  Second.  Excel, has the feature you are asking for and has had it for a long time.  Third off, everyone that I have talked that hated the ribbon before they started using it, now love it after they used it so it is not idiotic to make a program easier to use.  Forth off, if they didn't work on UI we would still be using DOS because "they wouldn't want to break user expectations in the UI"  So all your logic does not follow!

Awesome - I wonder if Publisher 2010 and Project 2010 will have the ribbon feature?

Training Connection,

They are all supposed to have it this time around from what I understand.
